I’m a certifiable paper freak. I’ve always loved browsing the paper aisles and scouting out beautiful notecards. When I found Pear Tree Greetings last year, I was hooked– they have beautiful, high end products at affordable prices. Which is why I’m super excited to offer one reader $30 toward their Pear Tree Greetings holiday cards!
Pear Tree Greetings has a beautiful array of cards, and a fun interactive tool to play with creating them online. Check out these amazing designs:
While I love all of the above, the one that captured my heart was one of the simplest: the Scalloped Banner holiday card. In past years I’ve had fancy cards and multi-photo cards, which were perfect for that time in our lives. But this year? There’s no better photo that sums it up for us than the one below. I’m feeling incredibly grateful for my sweet, sweet family and treasuring every moment with them– here’s Bee showing us his belly, and Noodle glowing because she found a daisy. Casey and I are just taking it all is, smiling through the chaos, and feeling totally blessed.
The fun part? Here’s the sample card:
Notice how I was able to change the font, the size, AND the color! You know I’m always customizing everything, so I had a field day being able to tweak a color, font, and photo style. In fact, I’m pretty torn as to which color to use in the scalloped banner, or whether to use a black and white photo:
The paper is high quality, the style– fabulous. The price for this type of card? AMAZING! 24 cards in this style cost $27.60, and the price goes down the more you order. Yes, that means if you win you can purchase 24 of these gems with your $30 credit. Ready to enter? Here’s how:

I tend to send my Christmas cards out late-I plan early, but don’t get to it! One year I even sent them out after the 25. oh well!

Okay, I’m not trying to take a giveaway spot because I won the LAST Pear Tree giveaway (woot!). I just wanted to point out that their cards are the REAL DEAL. Super cute, super classy, and very high quality. I’ve been getting mad compliments on them and have sort of been trying to use them up quickly so I can give myself an excuse to choose another batch.

I like ‘vintage pattern in green’ one – so cute! And I love your family photo, hoping we can get one just as cute and ‘us’!
Paula says
…and I usually NEVER send out the cards because I don’t get them ordered in time. But we moved across the country this summer, I’m DEFINITELY sending them this year 🙂

When I was pregnant with Little Bit I got them out right after Christmas. After Little Bit I got them out like a week before Christmas O.o I hope to do better this year. I’m not as sleep deprived this year. Praise God!

Hmmm…when I send out cards…usually mid-December. I don’t like sending them too early, but I definitely want them to arrive before December reaches the 20s 🙂
Jennifer Auer says
I’m torn, I love lots of their designs. I think my favorite two are Taped Up Memories and Photo Blocks and Stripes. With 3 boys, it’s hard to get them all smiling at the same time so I love cards that let me show them all at their best moments.
Thanks for hosting this contest.
